He wasn’t being arrogant and presumptuous. Rather, it was because he had confidence in himself. After his rebirth, Meng Lei’s strength had undergone an overwhelming change.
Meng Lei believed that he could defeat the Dark Demonic Dragon while still in human form and that there was no need for him to shapeshift.
Boom!
As he took a step forward, his fist also instantly reached its target. A thunderous boom rang out, and the Dark Demonic Dragon was sent flying.
Its nose bridge had sunken inward, and blood spurted high into the air from its nose—Meng Lei’s punch had actually broken its nose bridge and caused him to bleed from the nose.
“You bastard!”
The Dark Demonic Dragon was alarmed and incensed. It roared furiously, “Suppress him, Power of Existential Plane!”
The existential plane’s omnipresent power weighed down on Meng Lei, but this time, he teleported above the Dark Demonic Dragon instead.
Then, he stomped down with his foot!
Boom!
Vast, mighty force erupted as Meng Lei made a deep pit right in the Dark Demonic Dragon’s head. Then, its enormous body plummeted straight down onto the ground.
“Power of Existential Plane is certainly very fearsome,” Meng Lei stood proudly in the sky, light flickering in his eyes as he said, “But it takes time for it to take effect on me after you’ve cast it. This interval is enough for me to escape!”
Once was more than enough when it came to suffering disadvantages.
Meng Lei was confident that he could evade Power of Existential Plane even if he hadn’t been reborn, let alone when he had become much stronger after his rebirth.
“Damn it!”
The Dark Demonic Dragon was exceptionally enraged.
Meng Lei had broken its nose bridge and even trampled upon its head!
That was an incredibly huge insult to it. How could the great Dark Demonic Dragon possibly take it lying down?
“Die! Go to hell!”
The Dark Demonic Dragon took on a terrifying 500,000-feet-long size, opened its mouth, and sprayed a beam of dragon breath that crushed down on Meng Lei from every direction.
Spanning several hundred meters long in diameter, the beam of dragon breath was simply too wide and thick. Most people had no way of resisting it at all, but to Meng Lei, it was futile.
He teleported and vanished from the spot. By the time he reappeared, he had already shown up behind the Dark Demonic Dragon out of the blue.
“It looks like you don’t have any methods that are superior to physical attacks, Demon’s Domain, and Power of Existential Plane. In that case, it’s time for this battle to end!”
Having seen through the Dark Demonic Dragon’s moves, Meng Lei lost interest in battling any further. Netherworld Divine Fire flames started to blaze in Meng Lei’s eyes as he glared at the Dark Demonic Dragon. They began to burn fervently and ultimately turned into two black pillars of fire so tall that they connected the heavens and earth before shooting onto the Dark Demonic Dragon’s back.
From appearances alone, it didn’t look like the Netherworld Divine Fire flames had changed much. They were still as black as ink and as though Itachi[1]’s Amaterasu[2] flames.
However, it had undergone a qualitative change at its core.
Its temperature had become even more insanely high!
Its ability to burn had also become even more fearsome!
The flames had also become more high-quality!
In other words, the Netherworld Divine Fire had also upgraded itself after Meng Lei’s rebirth.
To be honest, this was a very normal occurrence.
The Netherworld Divine Fire heralded as an inextinguishable fire that could burn even higher deities to death was actually referring to the one that had gone through several rebirths and upgrades, not a juvenile Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s Netherworld Divine Fire.
After all, no matter how powerful a juvenile Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s Netherworld Divine Fire was, how could it possibly burn a higher deity to death?
“Ahhh!”
After the Netherworld Divine Fire landed onto the Dark Demonic Dragon’s back, it began to blaze away furiously and spread throughout its back at a ridiculously high speed.
The astonishing thing was that every area that the Netherworld Divine Fire burned was actually reduced to ashes that scattered into the surroundings when the chilly winds blew.
After that, pitch-black holes that looked as if they were caused by sulphuric acid corrosion would appear in each area!
It formed an extremely frightening sight!
However, this was nothing because, more importantly, the Divine Fire had brought it unbearable pain.
The Dark Demonic Dragon let out shrill cries as it tried desperately to manifest its demonic aura and isolate the Netherworld Divine Fire. However, the flames were simply spreading too quickly.
The moment the chilly winds blew, the fire would spread like embers in a dry, withered field—the rate at which it spread was simply flabbergasting. The Dark Demonic Dragon’s isolation speed was far slower than the speed at which the fire spread.
In just a mere dozen seconds or so, the Netherworld Divine Fire had spread to every part of the Dark Demonic Dragon and totally enveloped its enormous, 500,000-feet-long body.
Hooowl!
The Dark Demonic Dragon cried out in pain and agony as it struggled mournfully. Its tough dragon scales turned into bits of drifting ashes while its robust and well-developed body swiftly shrank.
This badly frightened its subordinates. Overcome by shock and horror, the 45 Demon Lords and Great Demon Lords began to shake like a leaf.
“L-Lord Demon God!”
“What do we do now?”
What should they do?
Meng Lei didn’t know the answer to that, either—the Netherworld Divine Fire’s fearsome might had shocked him, too.
“Little did I think that the upgraded Netherworld Divine Fire would be that fearsome! It’s actually burned a great Demon God’s body into ashes, how frightful!”
However, the more terrifying and the more powerful the Netherworld Divine
